We Love the Little Gym!!

For the past three weeks Mckenna and I have been attending The Little Gym. The Little Gym is a curriculum based gymnastics class that is intended for parent and child. They reinforce developmental milestones while the little ones have fun! The first week we went Mckenna spent most of her time soaking in the routine and the layout. By the fourth time (we went twice this week to make up for missing this Saturday) she knows the routine and is excited to get her bells in the beginning and end of class, she loves "play time" where they climb, swing and tumble on the equipment, and she is beginning to show off her exquisite vocabulary, saying "bubble" during bubble time and "OH NO" when the instructor forgot something. I love this time I have with Mckenna, it is a time when she can just be a kid and the word "no" is rarely used because everything is for her to use! Matt took a few "outside the window" shots last Saturday. (Don't pay any attention to me in any of the pictures!)

New "skill" for the week: a handstand on the bars

Sunday a terrible thunderstorm ripped through town and took my school's power with it. We herded the kids in the High School Gym on Monday for 3.5 hours and then sent them home. Tuesday the power was still out so we didn't have school. What a bonus day it was, the weather was beautiful, Mckenna and I went to The Little Gym for a make-up class, and went to the park when Matt got home! The extra bonus is that we don't have to make the day up!!!

I am going to leave you with a cute picture of Mckenna trying to ward off Daddy's prickly kisses! I can't say I blame her! :) The beard gets shaved after Matt shaves some ridiculous mustache for the Alumni Games at Mount Mercy this weekend!

Love from the Lucas Family!
P.S. We find out the sex of baby #2 on MONDAY!!!! That is if we don't have any shyness!
